As a candidate, I am of course not the one who decides what questions
get asked, but I will share my opinion on some of your points:

>From what I see, there are four questions that have received more than
two endorsements. One (about rebranding) has been included in the list,
one is basically a follow up to another question (commitment on not
taking paid positions), while the other two are:
 * How should the Foundation treat foundation-run projects that incur a
   high amount of on-wiki opposition?
 * Should there be a waiting period between the time a Board member
   leaves the Board, and they take on an employee, consultant, or other
   paid role with the Foundation? 

I imagine that these are the questions you are referring to. They seem
to me meaningful questions, that could fit in the official list.

Personally I have no objections to longer list of questions. I actually
expected it to be longer in the first place (say, 20 questions).
At the same time, I understand that the Election Committee wants to
have the same set of questions for everyone, and to keep the time
commitment under control. I wouldn't want my willingness to answer to
go against their efforts.
